The Frog said:having personal experience with inpatient-rehab and numerous addictions and have seen basically the worst it can possibly get...I feel same in my opinion that everybody on that show with the exception of Jeff--who REALLY does need the help--are a bunch of washed-up whiners looking for a second chance at fame and notoriety.
That girl from Family Matters who "smokes too much pot" needs to get smacked. In that home video they showed of her with friends smokin blunts "we just smoked 12 blunts and you want to smoke another one!" What the hell is wrong with kids today! After the 2nd blunt (if that) you don't get higher and higher having more and more fun. You're just wasting weed! I smoke alot of weed myself, but 1 blunt to the head and I'm good for a couple hours. Girl from American Idol is just rediculous--only been doing drugs what 8 months? Its such a dier emergency that she get help NOW. HAHA. What a load of shit!
Jeff however made me almost cry. I understood how he felt because I've been there before and HE REALLY DOES NEED TO BE THERE and NEEDS PROPERTREATMENT ASAP. Jeff is near death and if he can't complete the program and stay with it afterward, then I have no doubt he will be dead within a month. All the substances he is mixing is so unbelievably dangerous that its hard to fathom how he's even still breathing. Benzos, a library of powerful opiates, alcohol, cocaine...quite frankly its a miracle he's alive right now. I feel really bad for him being the only one there that needs help and is in agony while the others are just there for a spot on TV cause they can't get any other work and happen to have used drugs in their lives. Ya'll saw them partying in the damn pool. Seriously I almost cried about Jeff, man. It makes me look at the way I used to live my life thru my addictions over all those years and reinforced why I will never go back to that life-style. Granted mine was a bit different than Jeff's because I was an IV heroin addict instead of pain pills...but a junkie is a junkie either way so I feel him...I feel what he is going thru.
But those other pussies need to go the fuck home
And the Baldwin guy...he said he's been straight for over a year! What the fuck is he doing there. Granted his problems with cocaine were bad IN THE PAST. But he certainly doesn't need inpatient treatment right now.
No, the people who need to be there...I'd like to see Britney Spears in there. Yes I couldn't give a fuck less about her career and have no interest in her at all. But she DOES need the help. She is still a human being and deserves the same amount of respect as the rest of us. Put yourself in Britney's shoes and you'd be crazy too. I feel really bad for her, ya know. We'd all be drugged up and tweeked out and doing all kinds of fucked up shit if we were never left alone and couldn't leave the house without pictures constantly being snapped and screaming and press all over us...people always telling you to be a certain way and do certain things. Shit I'd be fucking nuts too...I probably would've killed somebody by now if I was her. Lohan's just a party girl that has too much fun. But Brit really does need the help. Obviously she'll never go on a show like that...she's too far gone to even realize she needs help. Its really sad what the media does to people just to turn a buck.
Anyway enough of my rant.
But yes Dr. Drew is false in alot of his statements about various drugs. But I think he'll do a good job in attempting to help Jeff. He knows enough about addiction to where he can provide proper care. However I think anybody that is going to be a drug counciler or something of that nature, they need to have personal experience and have a number of years dealing with these type of people. When I was in rehab, none of the Docs had any clue what it felt like. They look at it from a brain-chemistry point of view...they have a wide knowledge of anatomy and bodily chemistry but have no idea about the soul.
ANd another thing, it angers me so much to see these facilities looking like day-spas for the rich and famous. The place I went to had a men's ward and a women's ward. Our days spent in group meetings ALL DAY, the food was akin to the shit they serve at county jail, we could only smoke cigarettes when the HDIC (head doc in charge) gave us permission and we went to smoke as a group. We were allowed an hour each day for recreation...in the common rooms (men and women always separate). 1 visit each week. It was like county jail all over again but we could leave (couldn't come back) if we wanted to and there weren't bars on the windows and doors to each bunk weren't locked most of the time. THATS REHAB. This hollywood bullshit makes me sick especially when they let patients in and out as they please because they got a WHOLE BUNCH of money and no body tells them 'no' ever. Thats not rehab, thats vacation. A place to go when you're straight girlfriend/boyfriend gave you the boot because you got caught doing a few lines of coke off the bathroom sink. Where was our pool and hot tub and coed dorms and exquisite quisine? Fuck them.
Good luck to Jeff though..........
Okay I'm done
I agree with most everything you have said. Great post Frog.
Like I posted earlier in the thread, Jeff is the one going to be suffering the most from WD's, no one else in the group can even compare. I had a friend very similar to Jeff (addicted to ridiculous amounts of opiates, benzos, and crack cocaine) and he went to an inpatient rehab and is doing SO MUCH better now.
I think the Baldwin guy is pretty much there to help the other people. Like you siad, he's been straight for over a year. He has experience whereas Dr. drew doesn't. So I think having Baldwin there is a good idea.
